Chapter 52: Loss
At first Reid is elated they have one of the enemy on the run, but the feeling doesn't last long when his fired-up mind
realizes it's getting away. He races after it, knowing he can catch it, his new speed plenty to close the distance
between him and the injured hunter.
It passes Ashley as it flees. She looks up, terrified eyes locked on the looming creature, while it bends almost casually
and swipes her with its claws on the way by.
The girl collapses to the ground, a gushing pool of blood growing rapidly around her. Leila is screaming while Reid's
rage takes him over completely, his body on fire as he flies after the escaping hunter.
Marcus jumps in his way and grabs at him before he can get too far. Reid almost shoves him aside and keeps going, the
raging thing inside him driving him onward. But the look on Marcus's face makes him pause and come back to himself again.
